Believe it or not, there are some foods in your life that you’re just eating the wrong way!

Follow these little hacks to make your life — and mealtime — just a little bit easier and/or more fun…

Cupcakes

All frosting and no cake in your first bite of cupcake? Avoid that scenario by breaking off the bottom and placing it face down on top. Then enjoy your newfangled cupcake sandwich!  

Leftover pizza

Some foods you should never put in the microwave. Leftover pizza should be one of them!

If you really want to savor last night’s slices, try reheating them on a skillet or waffle iron for a few minutes. You’ll get that fresh pizza taste all over again!

Bacon

You work hard to bring home the bacon, right? Make sure you fry it up right!

French toast

Tired of boring old French toast? Try crumbling up your fave cereal like the store brand version of Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Cap’n Crunch and adding it to the batter. Then dipping the bread in it to cook up. You’ll be in crunch(berry) heaven!

Ketchup packets

Forget about a mess of ketchup on the wrapper of your burger or the inside of your container of fries!

If you just tear or cut the packet across the top — rather than down at an angle as most people do — you can create your own mini-fry dipping ketchup canteen!

Ketchup cups

Tired of tiny ketchup cups at the condiments bar? Get ready for a mind-blowing revelation: They’re expandable — Just pull apart every other section on the cup!
